Suikoden II Coming to PSN

Of all my years at KONAMI, I think the biggest request I’ve received by volume is Suikoden II. The “little RPG that could” released in North America in 1999 with a now infamous few units produced. Prices of the title have surged in recent years as fans and would-be fans have had tremendous difficulty securing a copy of the venerated title. It is then with great joy that I am able to announce that *deep breath* Suikoden II is coming to PlayStation Network as a PS one Classic in North America for the first time on December 9th.

The second entry of the series follows as a continuation of the story set in City-States of Jowston, where social unrest has led to a military uprising against the oppressive Highland Kingdom Military led by Prince Luca Blight. Players take on the role of Riou; a youth swept up in the politics and fighting that threatens to burn the countryside asunder. With his comrades Jowy and Nanami, Riou is tasked to recruit the 108 Stars of Destiny, heroes to stand by his side. Featuring three different battle types, mini-games and multiple endings, as well as a massive branching storyline, it’s no wonder it has earned such accolades as being one of IGN’s Top 10 RPG Storylines of all time.

Suikoden II will be made available to fans both old and new in their original format to all thanks to both PlayStation and our passionate and dedicated fanbase. Without your constant and overwhelming support this would not have been possible. I hope that you will share your adventures with us on the official KONAMI Facebook page and I will see you in the City-States of Jowston starting December 9th, #TEIEN!

I’m one of the fools who bought suikoden 2 thinking I can play on psp. I’m pissed and it was told that it was “ps vita psp ps3” and nothing! So far I’ve wasted 10$ And for the dude who asked for BoF3, its already on psp, I own it, although its a EU version. But plays perfectly fine. Anyone have any word on WHEN Suikoden 2 will be aviable for download for psp??? Please email if possible! (lilpoetboy@yahoo.com), I feel cheated and hurt. And I don’t want to have to buy a Vita just to play this :(

What is the reason behind not letting us load this on PSP? From other comments, it sounds like it was listed as available for PSP when it first went up. Konami’s web site is still listing it as PS3, PSVita, and PSP. Is there any precedent for this? Every other PSOne Classic I’ve bought works on PSP.
